Hospitalized Chronic Pain Patient is a text intended to improve the care of patients with chronic pain admitted to the hospital either because of pain or with other health conditions. These patients are at risk of suffering due to under- or even overtreat­ment, leading to adverse outcomes.

The material in this text will assist the learner, the teacher, and the life-long learning practitioner by providing basic considerations for treating acute and chronic pain in the hospital. The text may also serve as a quick reference, review manual, or teaching tool for teachers on rounds.

Management of chronic pain patients can be quite challenging at baseline and often significantly more so during acute exacerbations while inpatient. Best in class care would ensure communication at admission or preoperatively if an elective sur­gical admission, with the patient’s chronic care provider to establish baseline needs as highlighted in this text. The materials further cover evidence-based approaches to inpatient management and a clear pathway to transitional support as the patient is discharged to ensure a smooth return to baseline and optimal outcomes.

We hope this handbook provides guidance in management decisions to facilitate expeditious, effective, and compassionate care.

We acknowledge the long list of skilled authors and their expertise succinctly sum­marized in the chapters herein. We are grateful to our mentors who have taught us: Dr. Andre Boezaart for his mentorship and singular focus on doing the right thing, for the right patient, for the right reason; Dr. Marc Huntoon for his guidance in clinical judgment and incorporating innovative strategies in the treatment algorithm when appropriate; Dr. Jianren Mao for providing and teaching us the underlying mechanisms of pain that direct a mechanistic and more effective approach to treatment. We would like to thank the Springer staff for their assistance and direction. Last, but not least, we would like to thank our families and friends for their love and support while pursuing this project.

We hope this treatment guide provides those who read it the tools to achieve our goal of advancing excellent patient care and improving clinical outcomes for a vul­nerable patient population. We strive to improve access to and quality of care for our patients while in the hospital and following discharge.
